Is Viktor Gyokeres Making Progress at Arsenal After Challenging Beginning?
After a tough adjustment phase, Viktor Gyokeres is beginning to find his stride at Arsenal. Having scored in both the Champions League and the league cup recently, he is starting to show why the club invested heavily in him during the summer.
Gyokeres had four goals in his last six games, indicating a turn in form. His standout performance came in the EFL Cup semifinal against Chelsea, where he scored and assisted a teammate. This followed a brief injury setback that seemed to hinder his earlier progress at Arsenal.
However, it has not been all smooth sailing, as he struggled to make an impact in earlier games, highlighting the need for further improvement. His manager, Mikel Arteta, remarked on Gyokeres’ enhancing performances, stating that his consistency is improving not only in scoring but also in overall involvement during matches.
As Gyokeres continues to adapt to Arsenal’s style, it’s clear that he is becoming increasingly influential on the pitch. His recent ability to score in various situations illustrates a promising development, while Arteta emphasizes the importance of scoring from both aesthetic and tactical perspectives.
